However, the welding process induces residual stresses in the welding area that can affect the structural behavior of joints. Currently very few papers investigate welding residual stresses in relation to tubular joints. This paper develops a finite element model of rectangular hollow section T joints considering welding residual stresses. Attention is paid particularly to welding sequences. The developed model is used to evaluate the effect of welding residual stresses on the resistance and initial stiffness of tubular joints. The results show that welding residual stresses increase the plastic resistance of rectangular hollow section joints under in-plane bending and axial brace loading.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{StapelfeldLaunertPasternaketal., author = {Stapelfeld, Christoph and Launert, Benjamin and Pasternak, Hartmut and Doynov, Nikolay and Michailov, Vesselin}, title = {Strength Calculation of Stiffened Structures Taking Into Consideration Realistic Weld Imperfections}, series = {European Conference on Residual Stresses 2018, ECRS-10, Leuven, Belgium, 11-14th September, 2018}, booktitle = {European Conference on Residual Stresses 2018, ECRS-10, Leuven, Belgium, 11-14th September, 2018}, editor = {Seefeldt, Marc}, publisher = {Materials Research Forum LLC}, address = {Millersville, PA}, isbn = {978-1-945291-88-3}, doi = {10.21741/9781945291890-39}, pages = {245 -- 250}, abstract = {The topic of this article is the application of an analytical numerical hybrid model for a realistic prediction of imperfections induced by welds.

Geometrical nonlinearities as well as the nonlinear material behavior are considered within the calculation. To simplify, both types of imperfections, geometrical and structural ones, are mostly combined in these strength calculations being considered as equivalent geometrical imperfections. Values for standard cases are included in EN 1993-1-5 in case of plated structures or 1-6 in case of shells. A second possibility is the separate definition of fabrication tolerances and residual stresses, as far as they are known. With increasing complexity of the structure, less information are however available on geometrical and particularly structural imperfections. Nevertheless, by means of a more realistic consideration of these values, the actual ultimate load can be determined significantly more exactly and the performance of high performance steel structures is increased. In the investigated cases, deformations and stresses arise mainly due to welding. Therefore, the topic of this article is the application of an analytical numerical hybrid model for predicting imperfections induced by welds. This is presented on an example of a stiffened steel structure and a subsequent ultimate load calculation. At the beginning the analytical model, its physical basis as well as the physical interrelationships are introduced and explained. This is followed by the explanation of the coupling procedure between the analytical model and the numerical calculation for the calculation of weld-induced deformations and residual stresses. The significance of the hybrid model is proven by means of a few sample applications. For a realistic determination of the weld imperfections in the investigated stiffened structure, the coupled hybrid model is used afterwards. An ultimate load analysis gives information about the load carrying behavior under axial loading. The results are compared with the results of an ultimate load analysis from a literature example assuming different eigenvalues with different scaling. The results underline the potential additional utilization of load bearing capacity by this new approach.}, language = {en} } @misc{TankovaSilvaBalakrishnametal., author = {Tankova, Trayana and Silva, Lu{\´i}s Sim{\~o}es da and Balakrishnam, Marimuthu and Rodrigues, Dulce and Launert, Benjamin and Pasternak, Hartmut and Tun, Tin Yadanar}, title = {Residual stresses in welded I section steel members}, series = {Engineering Structures}, volume = {197}, journal = {Engineering Structures}, issn = {0141-0296}, doi = {10.1016/j.engstruct.2019.109398}, pages = {24}, abstract = {Residual stresses have major influence on the stability of steel members. It is well-known that, due to the differences in manufacturing procedures, the residual stresses for welded and hot - rolled members are rather different. In the same way, despite several studies on residual stresses distribution and magnitude for hot-rolled members were already done, for prismatic and tapered welded I section steel members the investigation is still very scarce. In the current work, an experimental programme on the buckling resistance of tapered members, with different tapering ratios and section heights, was conducted and residual stress measurements were carried out using the sectioning method. Numerical simulations of the heat input during welding were also performed in order to predict the residual stress fields. A statistical analysis of the residual stresses distribution for welded I section members was performed, using the experimental and numerical results, as well as literature data. Systematized information on residual stresses distribution and magnitude was generated and some guidelines for the statistical characterization of residual stresses in welded members were proposed.}, language = {en} } @misc{DoynovStapelfeldMichailovetal., author = {Doynov, Nikolay and Stapelfeld, Christoph and Michailov, Vesselin and Pasternak, Hartmut and Launert, Benjamin}, title = {Distortion analysis of large scaled welded structures}, series = {Mathematical Modelling of Weld Phenomena 12 : selected peer reviewed papers from the 12th International Seminar Numerical Analysis of Weldability : September 23-26, 2018, Graz, Schloss Seggau - Austria}, journal = {Mathematical Modelling of Weld Phenomena 12 : selected peer reviewed papers from the 12th International Seminar Numerical Analysis of Weldability : September 23-26, 2018, Graz, Schloss Seggau - Austria}, editor = {Sommitsch, Christof and Enzinger, Norbert and Mayr, Peter}, publisher = {Verlag der Technischen Universit{\"a}t Graz}, address = {Graz}, isbn = {978-3-85125-615-4}, doi = {10.3217/978-3-85125-615-4}, pages = {254 -- 280}, abstract = {The work presents an innovative approach for simulation of welding induced distortions, which allows taking into consideration the local effects of the welding process as well as the global interactions in the structure. The approach bases on an integration of analytical and numerical calculation's procedures in a hybrid model, realized with the aid of the inherent strain concept. The analytical procedure calculates the shrinkage strain components and area of the plastic deformed zone, caused by welding. The calculated strains are then transferred to the global finite element model in order to predict the distortions and stresses in the structure after every welding stage, as well as their final state. The consideration of welding scenarios, weld sequence, clamping conditions and the assembling stages is done by taking into account the intermediate variation of the strain state during the manufacturing steps. The article gives the theoretical basis of the analytical model. The consideration of the essential physical relations is put into discussion. The application of the model is illustrated on complex structures.
